Using Prerecord (Still image)
In this mode, half-pressing the shutter button starts continual pre-recording of images to a temporary buffer. Then when you press the shutter button the rest of the way down, the camera stores what is currently in the buffer and starts continuous shutter recording of new images. Recording continues until you release the shutter button or until a total of up to 60 images (buffer images plus new images) are recorded. You can configure this mode to specify how many of the 60 images are recorded in the buffer and how many are recorded after you fully press the shutter button. You can use this mode when you want to make sure you do not miss fast-moving action.

*You can record up to 60 images (pre-recorded buffer images plus real-time images) for each Prerecord (Still Image) operation.
•You can specify anywhere from one second up to 60 seconds as the continuous shutter shooting time, which is the amount of time of the pre-record buffer plus the amount of time that continuous shutter recording is performed after the shutter button is pressed all the way. The maximum shooting time depends on the selected CS speed. You can select a CS speed in the range of 1 to 60 fps.
60 images per second (60 fps): You can shoot up to 60 images in one second.
1 image per second (1 fps) : You can shoot up to 60 images over 60 seconds.
•You can configure the mode so all 60 images are stored from the buffer, which pre-records images before you fully press the shutter button.
•The minimum interval for images pre-recorded in the buffer is 0.5 seconds and the minimum number of pre-recorded images is one.
